Do you have an exciting idea for a business start-up but maybe, you haven’t figured out how to begin? If you currently find yourself in such a situation, then, the latest edition of Start-Up Weekend Malta is the event for you.

ICON is proud to be part of this valuable event which aims to introduce attendees to the inspiring world of start-ups and entrepreneurship. Indeed, our very own Managing Director, Ian Castillo will be speaking at the event and mentoring attendees. Also, our Senior Digital Marketing Executive Eva Piperevska is co-organising.

Start-up Weekend Malta is a 54-hour event which will take place between the 4th and 6th May at the Malta Life Sciences Park (MLSP) in San Gwann. These events are organised in over 480 cities around the world, and they bring together developers, business managers, marketing experts and young entrepreneurs with innovative ideas. Thus, aspiring entrepreneurs are given the opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals, who can assist them in executing their business ventures successfully.

Participants will be coached by acclaimed local and foreign entrepreneurs, start-up veterans and business specialists.

Thus, this event further offers participants an opportunity to embrace this new pioneering technology and get ahead of the game.
